ANTELOPE VALLEY.
An Elegant LithOgraPh Of This
Booming Section.


The new lithographic bird's-eye
view Of Antelope Valley, by Prof. E.
S. Moore, mentioned in the HERALD
some weeks since, is out, and reflects
great credit on the artist, as well as
the lithographic talent and facilities
of this city. The view is taken from
the hilltop, little north and west Of
Rosamond, and embraces an expanse
territory reaching across the valley for
a distance of twenty-five miles by
forty in length, showing the towns OF
Rosamond, Lancaster. Alpine, Palm
dale, Maynards, the S. P. r. r., the
survey of the A. T. & S. F. road, and
the proposed Colorado and Carson
road across the valley. 1t also shows
the several artesian wells, the Scotch
settlement, the Willow Springs and
many prominent improvements, coun-
ty roads, etc. This view gives per-
sons living at distance from the val
ley good idea of the topography OF
this interesting portion Of Southern
California that is coming into import
ance at rapid gait just now. This
pleasing and interesting picture also
embraces view of the mouth of Big
Rock creek and Cottonwood caflon,
which contribute largely toward the
water supply of this prosperous and
promising section.

Horses Poisoned.

A poor Chinaman named Wong Ho
has been trying to beg, borrow or
steal a living out in the Azusa for
some years past. He got along very
we'll and accumulated three horses, at
the same time he gained the hatred
of brother Mongolian, who deter
mined to have the scalp of Wong Ho.
Last Saturday Wong Ho, his hired
men and his three horses fell violently
ill. They had eaten something that
didn't agree with them, and on Mon
day the three horses died, but the
Chinese recovered. A warrant is out
for the arrest Of the fellow who dosed
the food OF the Mongolians and the
horses, but the miscreant has not
been caught.

several copies Of the HERALD and
took great pleasure in reading about
the changes is Los Angeles. I woulC
describe Saratoga Springs but ne
doubt you have been here. One
thing like about Saratoga is the
abundance of trees on the edge of the
cemented sidewalks and one can wall
in the shade on any street. Anothel
thing Los Angeles might take patterr
from is the hotels. Your editoriali
spoke about the lack of hotel accom-
mediation, and we'll it might, for ever
here people are building more hotels,
and the present capacity here is abou
eight or ten times that Of the Los An
geles hotels. People all over where
have been speak much Of Los Angeles
and many want to go there but art
afraid that it is greatly exaggerated al
to climate, soil and possibilities, IN
fact l thought 80 before leaving Cali
fornia, but have pulled the wool OF
my eyes and come to the conclusion
that California, especially Los An
geles, is the only first-class place te
| live in.
saw in the account OF a hurdle race
here you have Lijero still belonging tc
Mr.. Baldwin, but he was sold at st.
Louis to Mr.. Ed. Storms, and Bonita
was sold before she won the Oakwood
Handicap at Chicago.
The added money at the Sixth Dis
trict races seems small in the stakes
when here the lowest purses are worth
from 5000 to $3.50 to the winner and
no stake is worth less than 5000 or
$1,000. But then we cannot expect
much to be done in the racing line
there for some little time yet, as all
are too much occupied in real estate
transactions, and what is more itneeds
men at the head of racing associa-
ton who can command respect in Or
der to get the better element and es-
pecially the fair sex to attend en-
mdSse.
l have heard much OF the bellies of
Saratoga, but do not believe they can
hold candle to the bright lights of
California, so far as l have seen, and l
have seen many on the promenades at
night. Every night from seven to ten
o'clock one can see the sidewalks
crowded on Broadway with men and
women, nearly all of whom are dressed
in the height of fashion, but l think
few can claim any pretensions to beau
ty according to my standard.
The races here begin at II 80 A. NJ.
each day, and are over about 2 or 8
T. M. All nearly like to see the steeple
chase races, and, l am glad to say, We
have had but few falls and no serious
accidents on that account.
About the time you receive this
apology for letter we will be prepar-
ing to 60 to Sheepshead Bay, where
the races begin about August 9th; /;
so do not send paper after that until
you hear from me after September
1st. The HERALD is the only paper l
care to read here, because it is the
only one in which can get any news
of home. (That word sounds big here
to me.)
As am not newspaper correspon-
dent do not expect this to be pub
lished, but if you care to take any
extracts from it you are at liberty to
do so.

The NIechanics, Fair.

1t is matter of regret that Los An
geles will not be able to make an ex-
hibit at the coming Mechanics fair at
San Francisco. The people up north
take it very kindly, however, and
send the following answer to the let
ter stating that our city will not take
part in the fair:
1--WE regret to hear that Los Angeles
will not be represented at the coming
exposition in this city, but must con-
cede that to make an exhibit in ST..
Louis and San Francisco during the
month would be asking too much.
We hope you will not forget your
promise for next year, and shall eX-
pect large display from Los Angeles
in 1888. Please accept our thanks for
the kind interest you have manifested.
Yours respectfully,
VIM. 2. Stout,

The street Paving.

Mr.. Sheerer, the contractor for the
granite block paving on, Main and
Spring streets, north of Third, arrived
in the city yesterday, and states that
he will commence work immediately
and will push it ahead as rapidly as
possible without delay of any kind.
AS regards the paving of the block be-
tween First and Second on Main street
with bituminous lime rock, he states
that he is willing to do that also, as il
is as much in his line as the other
kind of material. He is willing to dc
whatever the property owners desire
and his contract will allow.

The Old Fire La d dies.

The New York veteran firemen will
visit San Francisco about the middle
of the month. AT a meeting of old
firemen held at the City Hall last

ties. The following Exempts were
appointed a committee to make all
arrangements: Gen. Briefly, Geo. H.
Pike, Ed. r. Smith, ]. Kuhrts, John
Bloesser, Walter S. Moore and j. G.

Eastern fire laddies.

A Letter From n Los Angeles Boy
who Rides Races.

Most people in Los Angeles know
Adolph Straus. He used to be flor
ist in this city, and many are the fair
noses that have been plunged into the
beautiful bouquets that he arranged.
1t was matter of surprise to his
numerous friends when he announced
that he had decided to train for race
rider. Adolph had one thing in his
favor. He only weighed about eighty
five pounds, and he trained down to
less than that weight. He went to
the Santa Anita stables, where he was
received with joy, and soon became
abIe to stick on a horse as if he had
grown there. So great was his pro-
eress in the line of riding that he was
promoted and became full-fedged
Jockey. The following letter, written
to personal friend in this city, will

DAN LEWIS
Gets the Benefit of an EndeavOr
to Benefit Others.

Gets the Benefit of an Endeav0r
to Benefit Others.
The trial of Dan Lewis on a charge
of embezzling $3.50 took place before
Judge Gardiner yesterday, and occu-
pied the attention of the court from
early in the morning until 8 O'Clock
in the evening. The case arose from
benefit given to the relatives of the
famous John Brown, who live near
Pasadena, at which burg the enter
tainment was given, and the
verdict of the jury will prob
ably deter others who may con
template rendering benefits from
undertaking anything of a like nature
unless under special agreement from
all concerned, audience and beneficial
ries, not to posecute in case the ex-
penses more than cover the receipts.
According to the testimony given the
relatives of John Brown refused be-
fore hand to accept more than $2.00
with which they were to pay their ex-
penses in going to the town. The de-
fendant testified that he had worked
on the benefit for four weeks and that
when it came off the expenses were
found to be $40 more than the receipts
which $40 he still owes. He took II
artists and one pianist to Pasadena
and the expenses for advertising,
hall rent, gas, board etc., amounted
to more than was taken in
consequently there was nothing to
have turned over to the beneficiaries
even if they would have taken it.
There was some dispute as to whether
H. N. Rust, who seemed to take an
interest in the case, had paid for his
admission. Mr.. Rust testified that he
had paid 81, but defendant testified
that he had passed Mr.. Rust in, and
another witness testified that as far as
he knew Mr. Rust had not paid for
his admission. The jury returned
about half-past 4 O'Clock, and before
dinner stood four for acquittal, four
for conviction and four for embezzle-
ment of less than $50. After they
had been fed, however, they compro-
missed on the verdict Of guilty of en-
bezzlement of less than $50, and rec
Commended Lewis to the mercy OF the
Court. Judge Gardiner will pass sen,
tence on Lewis tomorrow morning.
